  9. Using Other Pple's Pics To List On Ebay.

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    This seller, fashionisti, used the pics of my RXW to list it on ebay. All pics except 2 of them are mine - I believe the huge illumed pic is from a member on TRC? Anyway, 2 days ago I have contacted the seller to remove the pics but no reply. I have somehow managed to contact the bidder about the situation. Do not want to see anyone getting ripped off here. Cant some people use their own damn pics. :angry: Partly my fault for not leaving any special 'trademarks' on my photos. Just thought I warn you guys about it - and to vent as well. :animal_rooster:

    fashionisti could very well be a member here or on TRC. Who knows?

    Seriously.

  13. Dealer Discussion And Sad News For Me

    Estaban, I am sorry to hear about Casey. I am a dog-lover/owner as well. I have lived around dogs since I was born. I have my fair share of the experience. Dogs come and go throughout my life. Everytime one of them passed or had to be put down, it hurts. It is very difficult time. Just a few weeks ago, one of my dogs was diagnosed with a malignant cancer in his gums at the lower mandible, prognosis wasnt too good. Tumour removed but expecting it to resurfaced again soon... and this time round, he would have to be put down. His sister passed away too years ago with cancer as well.

    No other dog can replace the one you have. Every dog is different and unique in their own ways. Remember the good times you both shared together. My most sincere condolences to you and your family.

    -A.

  14. Interesting Discussion About Rep Pricing

    When I first bought reps, and I believe I have mentioned it before either here or TRC, that if the watch doesn't come, I am prepared for the loss. Why? I am dealing with illegal items here. I am VERY surprised by how things are run here by the dealers which we ALL take for granted. And some people goes a bit further by ABUSING the system.

    @ Craytonic, I have re-read your post. As for the calculations, I don't really care that much about it. You may hit the nail right on the head, who knows? I am not a dealer, neither are you. I'll just take it as a grain of salt. Yes, I agree with you on the insurance part, hence I do not mind paying extra for the service and I don't see why anyone should.

    I have always thought the risk of loss at customs should reside with the seller because they are best equipped to easily carry that risk.

    First, a $200 hit to one buyer is a huge pain for that person. However, a dealer can spread that out to $X dollars over X sales on the cheap with no personal loss. This is good buisness for the seller as well because it encourages more buyers to purchase. Furthermore, the dealer is best equipped to properly package a watch (piano, etc) such that it won't be picked up by customs.

    I keep hearing about customs problems; but I never here anyone say their watch was seized outside of very isolated incidents?

    If the watch is seized in the country where it was sent, the dealer covers the loss.

    If the watch is seized in buyer's country, the buyer is responsible.

    This should be the way how things should be run.. but is it?? Dealers are covering both bases here and somehow you are trying to work your way around the fact that the dealer can somehow cover the losses by "encouraging more buyers to purchase"??? Jebus.

    Even legitimate online businesses don't run this way. You order illegal items into your country. Your customs seized the item. YOUR LOSS. Who the hell in the right mind would try and monitor each and every country's law. The fact that andrew went an extra mile doesn't mean that he can keep on covering the costs. Some of you people have one thing in mind: "I'm alright Jack"...f**k everybody else." (to quote TTK).

    @Pugwash and Quarks......and ALL other dealers......cwai is the guy that has been following me all over the place trying to [censored] in my Rice Krispies ...with no great success I may add.....!

    His attitude is quite simple...."I'm alright Jack"...f**k everybody else.....that was made clear to me as a dealer when he ordered his first Planet Ocean from me.....a day later Trusty posted one that caught his eye and he then e-mailed me asking the following:

    Omega PO Orange

    Well there you go. We need to expose more people who is shitting on dealers. See what has been going on: Luckyy got hit, EL got a huge ass fine, Josh got scammed by Fassi and probably more, and Neil, I'm sure you have your fair share as well (I'm sure other dealers as well). Plus all the risk getting nab, etc. After reading all these, I have no qualms about paying more for service. No doubt I would be a more picky about which watches to buy. Just human nature. Whatever it is, you gotta do what you gotta do. It is about time people realise how damn lucky we are.

    yup, I can confirm that the cost is below $100. I honestly don't feel bad when dealers lose money due to scammers, customs...btw, I rarely hear custom seized watches.

    They make enough to cover the cost of risk. I ve done my job as an honest buyer. That's the dealers' jobs to figure out how to avoid scammers, custom and paypal issues.

    Of course you don't feel bad, you are not the one losing the money.

    When we decide to purchase a watch (like with any other purchase), are we not making a value exchange where we are exchanging currency for the particular watch we want, be it rep or otherwise? Is tihs not how we buy other things? If we want it now, we usually have to pay more than if we waited until demand dies down or there is a sale.

    I GUESS I AM NOT SURE WHY ANYONE WOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT A POTENTIAL PRICE INCREASE AS A PERSON WOULD STILL NEED TO MAKE A VALUE DECISION ON WHICH WATCH TO PURCHASE AND/OR HOW MANY.

    Besides, you can only wear one at a time.

    For me, it is quality over quantity. I don't even care too much how close to the gen it is (although that is a plus). if I like the watch and it works (this is important), then I have received the value that I was expecting when I clicked that Paypal button.

    While I am a relative newcomer, it seems to me that some of those who have been around longer than I have may have forgotten the admonition to "select a dealer, then select a watch". People shop many ways - some for price and others for convenience or customer service.

    I SAY - GIVE ME GREAT REPS AT A REASONABLE PRICE WITH PROMPT DELIVERY. And, I am all for our dealers making however much money they need or desire to make as I want them to prosper so more and better reps will be forthcoming to us.

    Sorry for the long post...

    Well said, Caleb. Well said. I couldn't have said it any better myself.

    TTK vs blah, blah, blah... I think we have enough of that over at RWI, why bring the [censored] over and resume the whole drama here? There is no doubt Neil has some valid points which was brought up over at RWI, which some may not agree with (although many were more concerned on the WAY Neil puts them across, personally I could care less - it is not as if, this is the first time you have read how Neil deliver his posts)

    If dealers want to raise the price, fine by me. Not a problem. It is our choice to make. To make the purchase or just fug it and move on. I have always stood by the dealers I have dealt with and the customer service I have received has been by a long stretch of what I have expected out of their generosity and trust. I fully agree with weeding out the troublemakers, those bloody bad seeds who has been taking advantage of the dealers' generosity - causing paypal problems, keeping extra goods, scamming movements out of the watches, those petty complains about scratches here and there, etc..... And what has happen to this board? It has almost turned into a bloody customer service complain centre over here everytime I log on. I am just sick of the people whinning like 8 year old girls about every-fecking-thing. Seriously.

    P/s I am always [censored]in amazed by how members tries to scrutinise the amount of money our dealers make by selling these watches and then breaking down it to every penny the dealers makes over the service we get. Seriously. Get a bloody life. I just cant believe this [censored] really. This is a replica business. I am already thankful that our dealers go an extra mile to make sure our watches get delivered with all the customs [censored]... what more do you want? Some of you should just [censored] off, forget about reps and get genuines.
